About Me

Hi, I'm Zara – the face behind Walkies with Zara! 

I've always had a love for animals and feel incredibly lucky that I now get to spend my days caring for pets across North Cornwall.

Walkies with Zara was created to provide more than just exercise. My aim is to give every dog safe, enriching and enjoyable experiences while treating them as if they were my own. Whether we're out on a woodland adventure, enjoying a peaceful solo stroll or spending time playing and training together, your dog's wellbeing will always come first.

I am fully insured, Pet First Aid trained and have completed a Diploma in Dog Walking & Pet Sitting. I'm also currently working towards my professional certification with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), allowing me to expand my services to include one to one training walks, with the long term goal of offering training classes and puppy courses.

I believe in using kind, reward based training methods to help dogs build confidence, learn new skills and enjoy their training. Watching a dog make progress, whether that's improving their recall, walking calmly on a lead or simply growing in confidence, is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

When I'm not out with clients' dogs, you'll usually find me exploring Cornwall with my own Jackapoo, Kiki, or spending time with my cat, Chi. They both remind me every day just how unique and wonderful our pets are.

Thank you for considering Walkies with Zara. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I feel privileged every time an owner chooses me to care for a member of their family. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend!
